"Gimme Hope, Joanna"

"Didn't Grope Yo' Mama"

The Lyrics

For the Brits here, this is the song from the "Yop" advert... written after being emailed a super parody to the same OS, which I hope the author will post here soon, all about the demise of the previous pope.

Well, yo' mama she made you ang-er-yYou do not like de way dat she has fonShe make a few little people happy, ohBut I can see dat she upset her son

She's got a website for de perviesWid all de pictures of de t'ings she donBut can you not see dat it was not meIn dat on-line publica-shee-un,

JD - now don't that make a great mental image: Ahnold as a rasta.. Doug - the only bit of that one I can remember is "Motor bikin'" being rhymed with "lightnin'"... why not do this one yourself? K - you've got Doug and his "Pope's a goner" parody to thank for giving me the idea Stephen - Naughty? But nice? Larry - thanks.

How did this one even get approved? DKTOS, sorry. Based on hilarity, this song could have been a SOTM contender on my list. But it would be easier for me to cut it down to the songs I know. You did a pretty good, if naughty, job. 333

Chris B., you are quite a hard judge...reminds me of me from some time ago. DKTOS, but that don't matter. I didn't even have to know about the commercial you mention in the intro to enjoy it (although the stanza about the archbishop is puzzling). Funny all by itself, and that's a good thing.

Ag - you're listening to the wrong MP3.. ;-) The stanza about the preacher/archbishop would be obvious if you were listening to the OS, I'm afraid: Even the preacher who works for Jesus The Archbishop who's a peaceful man Together say that the freedom fighters Will overcome the very strong

(and somehow he *does* manage to rhyme "strong" with "man".. the archbishop in question is presumably Desmond Tutu) Chris - so let me get this straight: you don't know the original, so you're giving me 3 on pacing; you think it's hilarious, so it's 3 for humour... and only going for songs you know in the SOTM is a bit blinkered, and IMO against the spirit of the thing.

(SOTM) Alvin already pinched my favorite line, though there are many good ones throughout. You nailed the accent too. 94 years old? Would that be a GGILF? Nevermind, don't answer that. The Photoshop ending was very clever too.
